Some techniques of the « tsunagiori » style
Gido Rokoan explored the possibilities offered by the technique of the slits. In addition to playing on layouts like those seen in the previous sheet, he used three other techniques:

- recoveries of sheet parts to create formats other than square. We must fold together squares, which gives the cranes immediate thickness!
For example, to create the beautiful folding « Tsuri Fune - The fishing boat », the fishing net is figured using a set of 17 small cranes obtained from 24 squares, 14 of them being superimposed. Everything is connected to the wings of a crane 5 times larger. Very delicate!

To better understand the principle, look at the fold patterns of « Kanae - The Camping Stove » and « Asagao - Bindweed ».

- connections to places other than beaks, tails or wings, as in « Hina Asobi - We play with dolls ».

- passages through the paper allow him to create amazing models, whose difficulty of folding is inversely proportional to the number of cranes. Examine the fold pattern of « Karyobin
- Phoenix »!

The set of models is in the books Origami Rokoan Style and Origami Rokoan Style #2 written by Masako and Michie Sakai.

Some folders have used this style « tsunagiori » to create models of great modernity.
